At first, yeah... But if plants were introduced after the initial terraforming, they could convert the carbon dioxide to oxygen, and perhaps sometime in the far future we could breathe outside.
Look at the anime Cowboy Bebop... That takes place on Mars in the far future... Looks just like Earth from the ground, clouds, blue sky from the thick atmosphere, etc. till you get high in the atmosphere, and you can see the reddish sky and dust. It would probably be alot like that.

Damnit-- we're not God, and we should stop acting like it. If we weren't there to begin with, we're not suppossed to be there. <_< Just my two cents.

Just an educated guess.
here is a scale model of the
Earth, Moon, Mars, Phobos, Deimos
To give you an idea of the relative scale of the Earth-Moon and Mars-Phobos-Deimos systems, take a look at the graphic. At the top you can see the planets Mars (left) and Earth (right) drawn to the same scale. Immediately below Mars is a dot labeled Phobos. While the pixel you see makes Phobos larger than it really is, it is drawn at the correct distance from Mars. A little further down, you can see a pixel identified as Deimos. Again, the one pixel size makes Deimos appear larger than it really is but accurately shows you the distance of Deimos from Mars.
Phobos is only 9,378 kilometers distant from Mars and Deimos is a little farther out at 23,459 kilometers.
While our Moon orbits at a healthy distance of 384,000 kilometers from the Earth
not exactly a person standing on the other side of a building now is it?????
there is LOTTTTTS of space for something compleatly miss us and hit the moon

Yes. Our human nature made us explore what was out there on the seas. Now that same nature makes us look toward the stars. Nothing is going to stop us from exploring space. We'll see man on Mars and maybe the first faster-than-light craft within our lifetimes and that's all it's gonna take.
Just as we weren't bound to one continent, we are not bound to one planet.

Maybe we started out on Mars, screwed it up, and to survive, transferred our genetic information into the local apes on this planet.
Seriously though, I don't know about that purposely placed moon idea though... People say things like 'It's just too much of a coincidence things are absolutely perfect here for life'... Well if things WEREN'T perfect for life here there'd be no life... Life requires those extraordinary circumstances to get going, so naturally it'll happen at those places with the extraordinary circumstances.

Yeah, maybe, but since we're not able to survive there without a bubble around ourselves, and the fact of life existing on Mars is still hazy and there is no civilization whatsoever, I would doubt it. That's just me, though, someone might be able to come up with something completley different.

Thanks to the Mars rovers though, we've found conclusive proof that Mars wasn't always the way it is now... That there was once running and standing water on the surface, which requires higher temperatures and a much higher atmospheric pressure...

i cant believe there are people here that actually think we might be from mars :roll: . Einstein said it best
no asshat
draw an immaginary line down the center of that to seperate Earth and Mars
it is just showing the distance the moons are from each planet and an approximate size difference (Mars' moons would be smaller than the 1 pixel they are represented as)
i used the pic to show that it isnt exactly hard for a meteor or whatever to hit the side of the moon closest to us while completly missing Earth

:roll: if you strip the Earth of all the water, plants, snow and other shit...you will find it is hit way more than the moon with space debrie....the moon looks pitted from craters because it has no snow....tree's.....grass....buildings.....highways.....ETC....ETC...... :roll:
